Thymic tissue is not evident on high-resolution computed tomography and [18F]Fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography scans of aviraemic HIV patients with poor recovery of CD4 + T cells

Thymic tissue is not evident on high-resolution computed tomography and [18F]Fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography scans of aviraemic HIV patients with poor recovery of CD4 + T cells

Some previously immunodeficient HIV patients responding to antiretroviral therapy display poor recovery of CD4 + T cells. Evaluation of the contribution of thymic function requires sensitive detection and quantitation of metabolically active thymic tissue. We describe patient...
